The threats against Sanjay Leela Bhansali over his film Padmavati refuse to stop.

New Delhi: The threats against Sanjay Leela Bhansali over his film Padmavati refuse to stop. On Sunday, fringe outfits converged in the national capital and threatened to keep up the protests till the film is not banned.

In fact, Haryana's BJP Chief Media Coordinator on Monday announced a bounty of Rs 10 crore on Bhansali’s head, congratulated the man from Meerut who had announced the Rs 5 crore bounty and stated that he will quit the party if need be to register his protest against Padmavati.

“Heads will roll. People who raise an eye on our community will not be spared. I want to laud the boys from Meerut who kept a reward of Rs 5 Crore on Bhansali's head. But, just 5 Crores? Friends, if anyone comes with his head, we will reward him Rs 10 crore. Not just that, we will also take care of his family,” stated Surajpal Amu who is also a member of the Akhil Bharatiya Kshatriya Mahasabha.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje on Saturday wrote to I&B minister Smriti Irani asking for the Padmavati's release to be stalled and that the Deepika Padukone-starrer not be released "without cuts".

The controversy over the movie, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, has taken an ugly turn after members of the Rajput Karni Sena, a fringe outfit in Rajasthan, threatened to “cut off Padukone’s nose and behead Bhansali” if the film released.

The Karni Sena alleges that the film, based on the legend of Rani Padmini or Padmavati, the queen of Chittorgarh, compromises on the honour of the Rajput queen.

Shockingly, during the sit-in organised by the fringe group, effigies of Padukone, who essays the role of Padmavati, and the movie director, were hung from trees outside the fort, as per visuals accessed by Times Now.

A Brahmin group also conducted a signature campaign in blood demanding a ban on the film.
